Bahrain - Income

The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) reports that in 2001
Bahrain's gross domestic product (GDP) was estimated at $8.4
billion. The per capita GDP was estimated at $13,000. The average
inflation rate in 2001 was 1.5%. The CIA defines GDP as the value of all
final goods and services produced within a nation in a given year and
computed on the basis of purchasing power parity (PPP) rather than value
as measured on the basis of the rate of exchange. It was estimated that
agriculture accounted for 1% of GDP, industry 35%, and services 64%.

Foreign aid receipts amounted to about $27 per capita. Approximately 32%
of household consumption was spent on food, 8% on fuel, 1% on health
care, and 6% on education. Household consumption includes expenditures
of individuals, households, and nongovernmental organizations on goods
and services, excluding purchases of dwellings.
